Rick Takagi, Kirkland WAMember Since April 2007Artist Statement I have been living in the Seattle area for over 20 years now. I moved up here from the SF bay area. The Northwest is an amazing place to live if your a photographer. Each season offers something new and fresh.

I live in the wonderful city of Kirkland with my wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs. I can't imagine wanting to live anywhere else in the NW. We're truly lucky to have all the cool amenities that this area offers.

I have been very lucky that media such as National geographic, CNN, 425 magazine, Seattle magazine, Seattle weekly, Parade and others have used my photos for different stories. Clients include Microsoft, Seattle Mariners, HTC and others in the Seattle area.

I specialize in wedding and event photography but also enjoy taking photos of the simple things around me.
